Many of the bigger breeders have ultrasound machines & don't cycle males with the girls, until the follicles are at a certain size. I don't have fancy equipment but I check for follicles the old fashioned way.

When they are dime-sized it's pretty easy to feel them. That's when I cycle the male with the girl. I've only breed one male to 4 girls in a season but they all took. 3 days on 3 off for the male & 1-4... he just go to the next girl. Largest clutch was 11 eggs, smallest was 6.

Another thing big breeders are better at is knowing when they can stop pairing females. I just wait until a female refuses a male 3 times (after I've seen an initial lock). This usually works for me- last year was 8/8 100% go rate, this year 6/8 snakes or 75%. I had a new male in the mix this last time, so I'm not unhappy.
